Abstract
Description
Die Neuerung betrifft eine Vorrichtung zum Verpacken, zum Transport und zum kontrolliert dosierten Ausgeben einer körnigen oder pulverförmigen Ware, insbesondere eines Nahrungsmittels, wie Kaffee, Kakao oder dergleichen.The innovation concerns a device for packaging, for transport and for controlled dispensing a granular or powdery product, in particular a food such as coffee, cocoa or the like.
Eine Vorrichtung zum kontrolliert dosierten Ausgeben einer Ware ist in EP-A-331 271 beschrieben.A device for the controlled metered delivery of goods is described in EP-A-331 271.
Es liegt der Neuerung der Gedanke zugrunde, den Verpackungsaufwand und die damit verbundenen hohen Kosten wesentlich zu reduzieren, und zwar nicht nur die außerordentlich hohen Investitionen für Verpackungsmaschinen oder dergleichen, sondern vor allem für teures Verpackungsmaterial, dessen fachgerechte Lagerung und spätere Entsorgung nach den neuen Bestimmungen über die Beseitigung von Abfällen. The innovation is based on the idea that Packaging effort and the associated high Reduce costs significantly, and not just that extraordinarily high investments for Packaging machines or the like, but before especially for expensive packaging material whose professional storage and later disposal according to new waste disposal regulations.
Die bestimmungsgemäße Verwendung körniger oder pulverförmiger Waren erfolgt häufig in kleinen und oftmals sehr unterschiedlichen Mengen, so daß Industrie und Handel solche Waren in einer großen Zahl unterschiedlicher Abpackmengen zur Verfügung halten müssen. In der Nahrungsmittelindustrie sind Portionsabpackungen mit sehr unterschiedlichen Gewichts- oder Mengeninhalten üblich geworden. So wird zum Beispiel Kaffee für einen ganz bestimmten Brühvorgang in ausreichender Menge portioniert und einzeln abgepackt dem Anwender, im allgemeinen dem Gastronomen, zur Verfügung gestellt. Im Kaffeehandel sind etwa 20 unterschiedliche Portionsabpackungen im Handel, und entsprechend groß ist die Menge des benötigten Verpackungsmaterials sowie der Aufwand für die Verpackung der Ware in unterschiedlich großen Portionsabpackungen. Bedeutend ist dementsprechend auch die Menge des später zu entsorgenden Verpackungsmaterials. Hinzu kommen Zwischenverpackungen der Portionsabpackungen für den Handelsweg der Ware; so werden beispielsweise Portionsabpackungen in Kartons mit einem Inhalt zwischen 6,5 und 8 kg an den Anwender ausgeliefert. Auch der Werkstoff dieser Kartons ist nach der Kartonentleerung in den Materialkreislauf zurückzuführen.The intended use granular or powdered goods are often made in small and often very different quantities, so industry and trade such goods in large numbers different packaging quantities available have to. Are in the food industry Portion packs with very different Weight or quantity contents have become common. So will for example coffee for a specific one Brewing process in sufficient quantities and individually packaged for the user, generally the Restaurateurs, provided. In the coffee trade are about 20 different portion packs in the Trade, and accordingly the amount of required packaging material and the effort for the packaging of the goods in different sizes Portion packs. Accordingly, it is also important the amount of what will be disposed of later Packaging material. There are also intermediate packaging portion packs for the trade route of the goods; so are, for example, portion packs in boxes with a content between 6.5 and 8 kg to the user delivered. The material of these boxes is also after emptying the carton into the material cycle attributed.
Dementsprechend ist der Neuerung die Aufgabe gestellt, den Verpackungsaufwand und vor allem das benötigte Verpackungsmaterial ganz erheblich zu verringern.Accordingly, the innovation is given the task the packaging effort and above all the required To reduce packaging material considerably.
Die Neuerung löst diese Aufgabe durch die Ausbildung einer Vorrichtung mit den Merkmalen nach dem Schutzanspruch 1. The innovation solves this task through training a device with the features according to Protection claim 1.
Erreicht wird dadurch, daß die Ware in größeren, wiederverwendbaren Wechselbehältern, die für unterschiedliche Inhalte geeignet sind, in den Handel gebracht und erst am Ort der Verwendung der Ware portioniert wird. Dadurch entfällt Einwegverpackungsmaterial völlig. Der Investitionsaufwand für die Verpackung der Ware vor dem Handelstransport wird verringert, der Warenumschlag und die Lagerhaltung vereinfacht, so daß auch erhebliche Kosten eingespart werden. Sowohl der Wechselbehälter als auch die Portioniereinrichtung mit ihren Betätigungsmitteln sind beliebig oft verwendbar. Bevorzugt werden Wechselbehälter aus einem Edelstahl, welche eine Öffnung in einem halsförmigen Ansatz aufweisen, so daß diese Öffnung in an sich bekannter Weise durch eine Aluminiumfolie gasdicht und durch einen Stülpranddeckel außerdem mechanisch verschließbar ist und die bisher praktizierte aromageschützte Verpackung mit einer Begasung durch Stickstoff oder Kohlensäure nicht beeinträchtigt wird. Die Dosiereinrichtung mit ihren Antriebs- und Steuermitteln kann dem Anwender vom Warenlieferanten gegebenenfalls leihweise überlassen werden. Zur Vermeidung eines Mißbrauches ist nach einem besonderen Gedanken der Neuerung eine Codierung der Wechselbehälter vorgesehen, die mit Abtastelementen, welche in der Schaltung der Portioniereinrichtung vorgesehen sind, zur Freigabe der elektrischen Steuerung zusammenwirkt. Bevorzugt wird ein am Wechselbehälter angeordneter, codierter Magnetstreifen, dessen Codierung durch Abtastelemente erfolgt, die in der elektrischen Schaltung der Portioniereinrichtung integriert sind. Dadurch ist eine Funktion der Portioniereinrichtung erst durch die Einspeisung der auf dem Magnetstreifen vorgesehenen Codierung möglich. It is achieved that the goods in larger, reusable swap bodies for different contents are suitable in the trade brought and only at the place of use of the goods portioned. This eliminates Disposable packaging material entirely. Of the Investment costs for packaging the goods before Trade transport is reduced, goods turnover and the storage simplified, so that also considerable Costs can be saved. Both the swap body as well as the portioning device with their Actuators can be used any number of times. Swap bodies made of stainless steel are preferred, which is an opening in a neck-shaped approach have, so that this opening in known per se Way through an aluminum foil and gas-tight a slip edge cover can also be mechanically closed is and the previously practiced aroma-protected Packaging with nitrogen or fumigation Carbonic acid is not affected. The Dosing device with its drive and control means can the user from the goods supplier if necessary are loaned. To avoid a According to a special idea, abuse is the New coding of swap bodies provided the with scanning elements, which in the circuit of the Portioning device are provided to release the electrical control interacts. Is preferred a coded one arranged on the swap body Magnetic stripe, its coding by scanning elements takes place in the electrical circuit of the Portioning device are integrated. This is one Function of the portioning device only through the Infeed of those provided on the magnetic stripe Coding possible.
Als Austragvorrichtung eignen sich Ventile, Schleusen oder mechanische Fördereinrichtungen, wobei die Austragmenge entweder durch das Gewicht der ausgetragenen Menge, durch Zeitschalter oder dergleichen, begrenzt wird.Valves and locks are suitable as discharge devices or mechanical conveyors, the Discharge amount either by the weight of the discharged amount, by timer or the like, is limited.

Die Vorrichtung gemäß der Neuerung setzt sich aus dem
Wechselbehälter 1, einer Portioniereinrichtung 2 und
einer Gerätebasis 3 zusammen, welche einen
Antriebsmotor 4 für die Portioniereinrichtung 2 und die
elektrischen Steuerelemente für den Antrieb der
Portioniereinrichtung aufnimmt. The device according to the innovation consists of the
Swap container 1, a portioning device 2 and
a device base 3 together, which one
Das Ausführungsbeispiel zeigt die Anwendung der neuen
Ausbildungsmerkmale bei einer Vorrichtung zum
Verpacken, zum Transport und zum dosierten Ausgeben zum
Beispiel von Kaffee, insbesondere gemahlenem oder
pulverisiertem Kaffee. Der Wechselbehälter 1 besteht
vorteilhaft aus einem Chromnickelstahl und ist
innenpoliert, so daß er leicht gereinigt werden kann
und unbegrenzt mehrfach nutzbar ist. Der Behälter kann
aber auch aus einem anderen Werkstoff bestehen, zum
Beispiel Kunststoff, um eventuell auf spezifische
Eigenschaften der Füllung einzugehen. Ein solcher
Wechselbehälter weist beispielsweise ein Volumen zur
Aufnahme von ca. 6 - 6 1/2 kg Röstkaffee auf. Nach der
Befüllung des Wechselbehälters mit Röstkaffee erfolgt
in an sich bekannter Weise eine Begasung des Inhalts
mit Stickstoff oder Kohlensäure, und anschließend wird
der Wechselbehälter in an sich bekannter Weise durch
eine auf seine Öffnung aufgebrachte Aluminiumfolie,
welche in der Zeichnung nicht erkennbar ist,
versiegelt. Zum Schutze dieser Aluminiumfolie dient ein
Kunststoffstülpranddeckel 5, welcher mit dem
Wechselbehälter 1 vorteilhaft durch eine flexible
Verliersicherung verbunden ist. Der aus einem
geeigneten Kunststoff hergestellte Stülpranddeckel 5
übergreift den halsförmigen Rand 6 an der Öffnung des
Wechselbehälters 1 und schützt somit die Aluminiumfolie
gegen mechanische Beschädigungen während des
Transportes des Wechselbehälters. In der den Innenraum
des Wechselbehälters während des Transports
verschließenden Aluminiumfolie befindet sich
gegebenenfalls ein Druckausgleichsventil, um den durch
das Nachgasen entstehenden Überdruck abzubauen. Auf der
Aluminiumfolie ist außerdem eine Magnetstreifenkarte 7
lösbar befestigt, deren Codierung von einem in der
Gerätebasis 3 angeordneten Lesegerät 8 abtastbar ist,
so daß die Magnetstreifenkarte und das Lesegerät die
Funktion eines "Master-Switch" haben. Es wird dadurch
ein Mißbrauch der vom Warenhersteller eventuell
leihweise überlassenen Gerätebasis 3 mit der
Portioniereinrichtung 2 sowie eventuell der
Wechselbehälter 1 wirkungsvoll verhindert. Um zum
Beispiel einen mit gemahlenem Röstkaffee gefüllten
Wechselbehälter zu entleeren, benötigt der Anwender zur
Inbetriebsetzung der Gerätebasis die mit dem gefüllten
Wechselbehälter gelieferte Magnetstreifenkarte, die
sich bei der Behälterentleerung verbraucht. Nur
autorisierte Personen können mit Hilfe dieser Technik
gemahlenen Röstkaffee aus dem Wechselbehälter
portioniert entnehmen. Bei der Anordnung entsprechend
Figur 1 wird durch die Magnetkarte ein regelbares
Zeitschaltwerk 9 in Betrieb gesetzt, welches über
weitere elektrische Schaltelemente den Antriebsmotor 4
zur Ausgabe einer vorbestimmten Warenmenge steuert.
Anstelle des Zeitschalters in Figur 1 ist entsprechend
Figur 2 eine gewichtsabhängige Portionierung
vorgesehen. Das Gewicht der in einer Auffangschale 10
geförderten Kaffeemenge bestimmt die Portionsgröße über
eine Waage 11. Die Portionierung erfolgt in beiden
Fällen durch eine von dem Motor 4 angetriebene
Förderschnecke 12, die in der Portioniereinrichtung 2
drehbar gelagert ist. Der Halsrand 6 des
Wechselbehälters 1 ist mit dem Gehäuse der
Portioniereinrichtung 2 durch einen Dreh-Steck-Verschluß
13 kuppelbar. Zur Erleichterung der
Herstellung dieser Verbindung und zum Zwecke der
Erleichterung der Säuberung der Portioniereinrichtung 2
ist auch diese durch einen Dreh-Steck-Verschluß 14 mit
der Gerätebasis 3 kuppelbar. Dadurch kann der
Wechselbehälter 1 mit nach oben gerichteter Öffnung
durch Abziehen von der Aluminiumfolie befreit und mit
dem Gehäuse der Portioniereinrichtung gekuppelt werden.
Danach erfolgt eine Drehung um 180° und eine Verbindung
des Gehäuses der Portioniereinrichtung 2 mit der
Gerätebasis 3. Die von der Aluminiumfolie getrennte
Magnetstreifenkarte 7 wird sodann in das Lesegerät 8
eingeführt, um die Vorrichtung betriebsfertig zu
machen. Nach der Entleerung des Wechselbehälters 1 ist
die Magnetstreifenkarte 7 verbraucht, so daß die
Gerätebasis nicht mehr betriebsbereit ist. Die
Betriebsbereitschaft kann erst durch das Einschieben
einer unverbrauchten Magnetstreifenkarte erreicht
werden, die von einem gefüllten Wechselbehälter
entnommen wird.The embodiment shows the application of the new
Training features in a device for
Packing, for transport and for metered dispensing to
Example of coffee, especially ground or
powdered coffee. The swap body 1 exists
made of a chrome nickel steel and is advantageous
internally polished so that it can be cleaned easily
and can be used multiple times. The container can

Nach einem weiteren Gedanken zur Ausgestaltung der
Neuerung ist vorgesehen, daß mehrere Wechselbehälter 1
entsprechend der schematischen Darstellung in den
Figuren 5 und 6 nach der Füllung, Begasung,
Versiegelung und Etikettierung auf einer Palette 15
zusammengefaßt werden, um die Handhabung im
Warenverkehr zu erleichtern. Zur Schonung der
Wechselbehälter 1 besteht diese Palette vorzugsweise
aus einem Palettenunterteil 15a und einem
Palettenoberteil 15b, so daß die Wechselbehälter 1 im
Schutze dieser beiden Palettenteile untergebracht sind.
